I think you better buy it then
You take a peek at the piston and cylinder? Tough to do these purchases over a computer.
Yes the 421 were German Made
Just don't tell the stihl guys that it runs right next to a 241 for half the price .I ran a nice little Dolmar 421 over the weekend. Strong saw for its size. Ran well.
That's how I look at it .A good running saw is a good running saw no matter how you look at it. [emoji106]
